Novelists

Novelists is a French progressive metal band born in Paris, now led by vocalist Camille Contreras. With a singular approach, the project quickly made its mark on the international metalcore scene thanks to a blend of instrumental technicality, raw emotion and immersive atmospheres. Guitarists Pierre Danel and Florestan Durand shape a sound where complex riffs and soaring passages intersect, bringing memorable tracks like "Coda" and "All for Nothing" to life. Camille's arrival injected new energy, opening an unprecedented chapter without renouncing the band's identity. Their latest album, Coda, released on May 16, illustrates this artistic evolution and confirms their desire to push the boundaries of the genre. Accustomed to major tours, Novelists have shared the bill with established acts such as Northlane, Periphery and Erra, building a stage presence known for its intensity and sincerity.
